    I know at least one person that has preemptively rejected cultivated meat because it requires the death of an animal.

    Even though they know that a single animal’s death could then spare uncountable billions of future animals.

    … does that make the chicken sampled for cultivation Chicken Jesus?

      If you’re going to start rejecting things because even one animal died in the process of making them, you’d have to say goodbye to much of modern medicine too.

        I would argue at some point they would need to reject modern living as a whole. Go build an A frame in the woods. Forage for berries and shit. Many aspects of the ways we live cause deaths. Like cars hitting animals. So if a single animal is too much, I have a feeling they should really be following that mindset.

          The amount of animals killed by a modern farm tractor combine passing through is enormous. Its just that we don’t count “vermin” like that life. And most people who are vegan will never see it.
